Adler's Appetite EP out now!!!!

[echrisl]

Has anyone in the Uk recieved theirs yet i paid for mine on the 3rd Jan but still nothing 

I live in Washington State and I haven't gotten mine yet, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.  They must have used some SLOW shipping.

[WAR41]

I am glad that some of you like it, but.... $13 in the US for an EP??  I don't care how limited it is, I refuse to pay that much for an EP with 6 songs on it.

$13 is still not THAT much if you wanna get the EP... It's a limited edition thing.

Not that much?  I am used to buying EP's for 5,6, or 7 bucks.  I like Steven and all but there is no way I will give him my money when he is charging that much.  And $18 for a shirt shipped within the US!!  Come on now.

that's so cool they released it on their own, i'm guessing adler paid for most of it, i think the others make a living out of money but i can't imagine they'd have the cash to fund it?

interesting keri wrote the whole of empty, the lyrics to that i thought were very good, the whole scene of LA in the aftermath of grunge and how it's not like the 80s, y'know? very good imagery of it. at least from the clip!

another interesting thing is the songwriting creds are traditional lyrics and music, cos obviously there was the big thing with the lawsuit for adler about claiming songwriting credits because the rest of them were, and he said he always thought of it being trad. but when he found out they were claiming credit musically he didn't see why he shouldn't too.

personally, i would have thought 'cos all of them were doing it so independently it would be credited to all of them.

absolutely can't wait to see em

[thejungle]

pretty interesting you got some sent for promo purposes. who do you work for? i did wonder how they'd get radio play if they were so indie they couldn't afford to send out promo copies but i guess they are. would be nice to hear them get some airplay once they have an album out.

I'm responsible for their shows in Greece...

[Jizzo]

My favorite song is most likely "Little Dancer", i love the lyrics.

Although I like the line from 99, "Everynight I see the same old girl coincidentally"

Here's where it's recorded:

http://www.dinkymusic.com/

You can find the rates there aswell, it didn't cost a whole lot of money. I thought I read somewhere that the drums where recorded in the Dinky studio and the guitars and vocals in Keri's home studio. About the songs, Keri said in an interview that he brought the songs in, then showed them to the Steven and Robbie and as they went thru them, re-arranged them and sometimes extended a verse or chorus to fit Jizzy's vocals.

[thejungle]

i suppose thats where the arranged by AA comes in. i remember those interviews. i just wonder how much they had to pay printing etc. suppose if you know you're gonna sell em on tour thhey knew they could probably shift em.

cool re: arranging their shows in greece! do they sell well there?

[echrisl]

Finally got my copy last Friday ... can't say that I was floored, but it's pretty good.  Nice to see that they're at least apologetic enough to send an apology for the delay.

Wonder if his former bandmate will try the same tactic ... if/when he gets around to sending out his album 

[Jizzo]

i keep making everyone listen to this cd repeatedly

[Butch Français]

got the EP the other day, I didn't have any expectations, and I was very surprised!
it's kick ass rock n roll! I love it

[Scabbie]

My brothers just picked up a couple of copies from Dudley JB's so I get mine in a weeks time - can't wait

Apparently the gig was 'fuckin wicked' I'm trying to persuade him to join the board and post a review. Stevie hasn't lost his style.

[GNROSAS]

A pretty Damn Good Ep. I was very surprised about the quality.
I just Saw them yesterday and they fuckin Rocked my world.

[Jizzo]

i want them to play la again. And not just the malibu fucking inn. Its a 21 and up place, last time the band played there 6 of my friends wanted to go but couldn't

[Gemini Guy]

I didn't much care for it at first but I am liking it better with repeated listens.  The songs are good but you have to give them a chance before you start liking them.  I think a full length LP will be better because it won't have so many covers.  The covers were easily the weakest links of the EP.

[thejungle]

yeah i see what you mean about the covers, they seem the most "filler" style of the EP, but at the same time hollywood provides a change of pace etc that is needed and maybe they didn't have enough time to write it themselves.

personally i like every track, but the more i listen to the album the more i appreciate the new tracks more.

[norway]

wow, this was a nice rock record, i'm really into the singer 

[thejungle]

sorry i keep posting this link but it seems not many people know about love/hate!

download the first two albums - blackout in the red room and wasted in america

they're being re-issued next year

fucking amazing

[KeVoRkIaN]

On their forum it says that they didn't come to an agreement with a label for the EP, so they released it on their own.

Well I think that's because nobody was interested.... but nice to hear it's good material

[Christos AG]

Well I think that's because nobody was interested....

That is not true, and the fact that they sold every copy they printed it proves it.

They had a deal with a record company but they wanted to release something very quick before their European tour. So they produced the EP.

They have some offers from record companies, they'll look into it and when the time is right (when they'll be ready to record the album) they'll choose the best deal.
